figure at is a top View of Figure 3.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

Referring to the drawings, 1 is a pref-- erably rectangular casing having an open upper side 2 and handles 3 on each end. In one of the side Walls of said casing at a suitable distance from the bottom are provided one or more openings 4: for the circulation of air and 5 is a cover adapted to close said open side 2. In said cover 5 is provided a partition 6 whereby a compartment 7 is provided,in which may be placed napkins and the like.

Within said. casing 1 at a suitable distance from the bottom preferably in each corner are located brackets 8, and-9 is a removable plate adapted to be supported by said brackets 8. The said plate 9 when not in use located in the bottom of the casing (see Figure 2), thus providing a convenient space for the casseroles 10, heaters 11 and other kitchen utensils to be stored when the stove is not in use. The plate 9 has provided therein one or more holes 12, in which are mounted the heaters 11 or any similar condensed heating devices, and intermediate of said plate are provided one or more air circulation openings 13.

In the operation of the above described stove, the casseroles 10, heaters 11 and other kitchen utensils are removed from the casing 1 and the plate 9 is rested on the brackets or supports 8 (see Figure 3). The heaters 11 are placed in the holes 12 and the eas- 24, 1925. serial No. 58,332.

seroles 10 are supported above the heating elements 1.1 by their edges 14: which are slightly larger in diameter than the inturned edges 15 ot the casing 1.

it may be noted that an important feature of the present invention resides in the fac, thatthe heaters 11 are entirely protected from drafts etc, being completely enclosed in the casing 1, thus permitting the use of the stove outdoors. Another feature is that the stove and equipment are compact, inasmuch that when it is not in use plates, forks, snives, casseroles, heaters, napkins, are all contained in the casing 1, thus enabling same to be carried on excursions, picnics, and the like.

The above description relates to the particular form of the invention illustrated in the drawings, but it must be understood that improvements and modifications to its shape and the disposition of its elements may be made without departing from the scope of the accompanying claims.

W hat I claim as my invention is:

1. An article of manufacture of the character described, consisting of a casing having an open top and air circulation holes therein, a supporting member in each inner corner of said casing at asuitable distance from the bottom 01": said casing, a removable plate mounted on said supporting members, said plate having a plurality of openings in which are adapted heating elements, substantially as described.
